Do not install this unit under unprotected flammable surfaces. Do not install or use this appliance inside a building, garage, or any other enclosed area including recreational vehicles or boats.
INSTALLER NOTE: This barbecue must be installed so that it can be removed in the event service should be necessary. Any protrusion into the barbecue enclosure from either side, which is less than 11 1/4" from the counter top, may obstruct the frame and prevent the unit from dropping into place (see "Gas Supply Plumbing Requirements", on page 4).
INSURING PROPER COMBUSTION AIR AND COOLING AIR FLOW
The ½" vent space between the top panel of the unit and the counter top must be left clear with cork mounting pads resting on counter top. Blockage of air flow causes overheating and poor combustion. Vent screen, part #
VENTILATION OF ENCLOSURES
When using propane gas, take EXTREME CAUTION to ensure ample ventilation of gas vapor. Propane gas vapor is invisible and heavier than air. A DANGEROUS EXPLOSION could occur, resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE, if propane gas is allowed to accumulate and is then ignited.
Only one propane gas cylinder may be located in an enclosure. Extra or spare cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and outside of any building, garage or other enclosed area. READ AND
FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS PROVIDED WITH PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS. Never locate a cylinder under or near the barbecue unless sufficient ventilation and shielding is provided to prevent any heating of the cylinder, regulator and rubber hose.
Propane Cylinder Enclosures
To prevent invisible combustible gas from accumulating in the cylinder enclosure, you must provide adequate ventilation. This is accomplished by EITHER one side of the gas cylinder enclosure left completely open to the outside OR by providing four
(4)ventilation openings. Two openings are to be at the cylinder valve level (Approx. 16” above the floor) and at opposite walls of the enclosure. Two more openings must be at the floor level at opposite sides of the enclosure. The floor level openings must start at the floor and shall extend no higher than 5” above the floor. Each opening must have a minimum of 10 square inches (64.5 cm2) of free area. To achieve the proper ventilation, you may drill a series of holes, omit the grout from masonry joints or replace a brick with a hardware cloth screen. If the floor in the cabinet is raised and the space beneath the cabinet is open to the outside, the lower ventilation openings may be in the floor.
FORYOUR SAFETY, you must provide these openings for drainage, replacement air and cross ventilation of any storage area exposed to possible leakage from gas connections, the barbecue or propane gas cylinder.
IMPORTANT: Read additional requirements for safe use of propane gas and gas cylinders below.
HOUSEHOLD PROPANE GAS SERVICE
Consult your gas supplier for ventilation and regulator requirements when connecting to a HOUSEHOLD propane supply.
Note: Only Fire Magic Barbecue models with the suffix
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
Electrical outlets in the vicinity of the barbecue, which might be used for rotisserie motors or other appliances, must be properly grounded.
